fine for using phone while driving sa Page 24

In South Australia, using a mobile phone while driving without a hands-free setup is not just rude—it's illegal and expensive. The fine typically hovers around AU$457 plus 4 demerit points. This applies if you're holding or manipulating your phone while driving, including texting, calling, or using apps.

Repeat offenders might face steeper penalties, so it's smarter to stash the phone away or use a proper Bluetooth system. For the latest and detailed info, check official South Australian government resources or ServiceCentral.
